Following 2016’s award winning Christmas light and sound show, A Cathedral Illuminated is back and in 2017 will be bigger and better.

This year’s theme, ‘Star of Wonder, Star of Light’, will present the nativity story in mesmerising images and sounds across the west front of the Cathedral. This year the projections will be in various locations around the Cathedral Close moving visitors on a journey and once inside the Cathedral, visitors can enjoy further projections, readings at the crib, the annual Christmas Tree Festival and a Star installation.
